One of the hardest things to deal with for someone coming into expediting from general trucking, going from a tractor to a van especially, is the sitting. 2000 miles in a van is a good week. To average 2000 miles per week over a year is not gonna happen. 1500 is more realistic, and even that's...

Not just truckers have gotten these e-mails. People without vehicles have gotten them. People who have never been to New York have gotten them. People who have never been to the United States have gotten them. This e-mail first went out to millions of e-mail addresses on July 5, 2011. It was...

"If its bad enough to chain up, its bad enough to get off the road." Words to live by. :D

I stand by my comment. You clearly don't know anything about this industry, despite being in it for four years. Your comments in previous threads make that abundantly clear. Your comments in this post here only reinforces that. You expect carriers to care more about their contractors than...

Several reasons. One, when I first got an aircard, tethering wasn't a possibility with the phone I had. Two, being with Verizon (CDMA network), I wanted to be able to talk on the phone and be on the Internet with the laptop at the same time. Third, tethering a smarphone to a laptop is...

I get a text message from Verizon when I hit 50% of my plan allotment. I also get one when I then hit 75%, 90%, and 100%. There's also an app for that, with a widget that tells me on-screen what my usage is. Straight Talk phones run off different networks depending on the phone you get. If you...

Yes. 4G is still limited, but it's expanding every day. In another year year it'll be widespread. 4G can be a pain in a fringe area, as OVM notes, but it's easy enough to force it to CDMA-only and not have it look for LTE at all, which prevents the flip-flopping. I've done that a handful of...

So a better analogy would be a general contractor asking you for which other general contractors you accept subcontracting work - also a reasonable question.

Carpenters and plumbers might not be the best analogy to expediting, since customers will often ask a plumber or carpenter if they have done work for this or that person (or the Smiths in particular), if they haven't in fact already talked with many neighbors to get recommendations for plumbers...

5 numbers on individual plans of 900 minutes or more, 10 numbers on family plans of 1400 minutes or more. :)

Smartphones aren't merely phones that do the Internet, they're hand-held computers that make phone calls.

At Verizon, all calls made to or received from another Verizon phone are unlimited minutes. I have a $59.95 900 minute plan, which comes with the Friends and Family thing. With Friends and Family I can put 5 numbers on there, and they become unlimited, as well. I've had months where I used 200...

On some (or maybe many) of the bid boards, the bidding process is rather transparent. Carriers often know who they are bidding against and who won the bid. Some just show the other bids, but some who who placed those bids. You can never be 100% certain, of course, as not all carriers make...

It's good business to make it their business. Is there some reason you don't want the companies you run for to know about the other companies you run for? Let's say you're the only van in Armpit, AL. One company is bidding on a load for you, against another company, and it just so happens that...

What many people don't realize is that the credit card and banking lobbyists are the ones who actually author most of the banking-related legislation.

Yes, really. Thank you for stating the blatantly obvious, though. Do you really want to discuss moderator actions in the forum, now? Is that what you want to do? I would advise against it, but we know how you are in dealing with sound advice. <shrug>

No, I don't have to. You already know the rules, and the consequences of breaking them. I'm giving you advice. Advice which, if you are smart, you will take. Don't even try and turn it back on me. I didn't quote something from another thread to use as a confrontational tool. You did that.

When you pile enough mole hills on top of each other, you've got a mountain. You're still trying to justify using a quote from another thread as a confrontational tool. And no, I didn't say the above was SPAM or trolling, I said your constant confrontational postings and trying to best someone...

Bionic has a 4.3" screen. It's big. Very big. I like it a lot, but it's very big. Any bigger at all and it wouldn't fit in my pants pocket. Unless you're an NBA forward, it's very tough to hold it in the palm of your hand and do everything you want with your thumb. It's great for viewing stuff...
